The San Francisco Giants yesterday became the first team since 1986 to win a protest filed with
Major League Baseball, so they will get to resume a rain-shortened game that the Chicago Cubs
thought they had won.

MLB executive Joe Torre ruled on Tuesday night’s game at Wrigley Field that was called after
41/2 innings. Chicago was declared the winner by a 2-0 score.

Now, it is instead a suspended game that will resume at 5:05 p.m. tonight with the Cubs batting
in the bottom of the fifth. Chicago and the playoff-contending

Giants have a regularly scheduled game set to begin three hours later.

A short rainstorm caused a delay of more than 41/2 hours on Tuesday after the grounds crew
couldn’t put the tarp down quickly. MLB ruled that tarp had not been properly put away after its
previous use. Therefore, under provisions of Official Baseball Rule 4.12 (a) (3) there a “
malfunction of a mechanical field device under control of the home club.”

Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer called it a “just” decision.
